114.18 is what percent of 227.46 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 227.46 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 227.46, so we can write it down as 100%=227.46.
4. We know, that x% equals 114.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=114.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=227.46
2) x%=114.18
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=227.46/114.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 114.18 is what percent of 227.46

100%/x%=227.46/114.18
(100/x)*x=(227.46/114.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9921177088807*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9921177088807) to get x
100/1.9921177088807=x
50.197836982327=x
x=50.197836982327

now we have:
114.18 is 50.197836982327% of 227.46
